Why I chose this recipe: If I ever open a Quick Chick Kitchen bakery or cafe, my QCK Zucchini Bread will be the first thing on the breakfast menu. I am not exaggerating when I say I make multiple batches of my Zucchini Bread and have them ready to go in the freezer so family and friends can enjoy their cup of coffee or afternoon…
Why I chose this recipe: I’m going to be honest. I probably never would have blogged about crab cakes. I’ve always been underwhelmed. I don’t order them out because I find them to be a fried disc of filler mush and very little crab. Sorry, but I’m not interested in that! But then my boys were talking about how they loved crab cakes and the…
Why I chose this recipe: My family loves breakfast. Pancakes, waffles, muffins, banana breads, you name it, they will eat it. Homemade, of course. So while my son was away at golf camp and I was spoiling myself watching hours of Wimbledon (I’m obsessed with tennis) with strawberries and scones on the commentators desks, I got the idea of making a sweet scone for him…
Why I chose this Wine: Last year we invited our dear friends to a wine tasting dinner featuring the Justin wines. We knew they loved this wine, so we thought it would be a fun event. Fortunately (or unfortunately) it surpasses our expectations as we fell in love with the Justin Isosceles wine that was served with the entree. After the delicious dinner, where I…
Why I chose this recipe: In August when we were enjoying some quality time Vermont, we stopped into the Woodstock Farmers’ Market. Not only do they have amazing produce, fresh seafood, and delicious meats, they also have a deli and prepared foods. One item that caught my eye was the cauliflower with vegetables and curry. I am always looking for delicious recipes for cauliflower. My…
Why this Wine? I shouldn’t tell you about this wine. “Why?”, you ask. This wine is so delicious and somewhat hard to find that if I share it with you all, it might all be sold out the next time I am looking for a bottle. Over the past few years, I started to broaden my horizons and have dabbled in Spanish wines. When it…
Why I chose this recipe: My son is a pasta-holic. He “needs’ pasta every single day, 365 days a year. I am not kidding. Needless to say, I am getting tired of making the same old pasta dishes. Given the very warm temperatures this summer, I felt as though I had to switch it up for my own sanity. I also felt it would be…
Why this Wine? A few years ago we were fortunate to be invited to Martha’s Vineyard to celebrate a dear friend’s 40th birthday. While we were there, we attended a wine festival tasting many delicious wines while listening to the wonderful sounds of the waves against the dock and sailboats’ halyards clanging against their masts. My favorite wine that evening was the Joseph Carr Cabernet…
Why I chose this recipe: I told you all that I am obsessed with Scones right now. This recipe came to me when I was visiting the King Arthur Flour store in Norwich, Vermont last week after I dropped my son at sleep-away camp in New Hampshire. There is no way I was driving by King Arthur Flour flagship store without stopping if I was…
Why I chose this recipe: I am obsessed with scones. I am not sure why. The only reason I can come up with is that when I was younger, my grandparents used to take my brother and me to Bermuda each Fall to give my parents a break. At the hotel’s poolside snack-bar grilled current scones were served mid-afternoon. Needless to say, after hours in…
